Summary: I like mooses and love muffins

Summary: If you give a moose a muffin.
Review: If you give a moose a muffin is about a big moose that smells some muffins from a nearby house. He gets into the kids house and wants a muffin. When he gets the muffin he starts asking for something to go with it, then he starts to want more things in the house until it is a big mess.
This book teaches you that it is nice to make friends and have them over, but sometimes it can get a little messy. This book is for ages 4 and up. It is a really good and funny book.

Summary: One Thing Leads To Another
Review: If you give a moose a muffin...one thing can lead to another and you just never know what you're in for! This a wonderful book with bright, colorful illustrations filled with humorous situations that stem from that first kind act of hospitality between a little boy and a visiting moose. Kids will love the momentum that keeps building as the friendly moose goes from muffin to mayhem while the boy's unsuspecting mom is outside quietly working in the yard. Laura Joffe Numeroff has written other books of this type that are very entertaining, too, but this one is my favorite, by far. It encourages generosity and co-operation in a mad-cap way. The big, gangly moose is so funny that the kids are sure to love him and you will be glad to read this book over and over again.

Summary: A harsh, but valuable lesson.
Review: If you give a moose a muffin...you won't get it back again. And there's a risk you'll be gored to death in the moose's quest for more sugary snacks.It's not a nice lesson for children, but like "don't accept lifts with strangers", "drugs are bad" and "just say no to S Club Juniors", it's a lesson that has to be learned. Invaluable.

Summary: If You Give a Moose a Muffin
Review: In this book theres a moose that smells a muffin from a nearby house. He gets into the house and trys to get a muffin. The kid gives him a muffin and the moose keeps asking for more and more things to go with it. After the moose has had enough the whole house is a mess. I would recommend this book to anyone of any age. This book is suprising and interesting. This book teaches you not to give a moose a muffin unless you know hes not going to want anything to go with it.

Summary: A very fun book! Get the whole series!
Review: Moose/Muffin is our favorite of this "If You Give a (?) a (?)" series of books, but the other two, Mouse/Cookie and Pig/Pancake, are just as good jumping-off points for clever stories of wandering attention, imagination, curiosity, and the sheer joy of play. From an adult-critique standpoint, I think Laura Joffe Numeroff's story in this one was the most clever, scene to scene. All the shifts in focus make perfect sense, if you view the moose as personified the moment the kid tosses him the muffin, and never have too large a shift in the scope of the action. It's absurdly funny to have an animal the size of a moose at play like a child in the house. My favorite illustration is of the moose and the kid -- probably a boy but not altogether clear, so she's a girl for my daughters -- painting the scenery for the puppet show. (Confused? Buy it and read it.) Felicia Bond is very gifted in conveying body language and movement in her characters, and her complex cartoon drawings are delightful all around. Now this may seem like an obvious point, but a real moose is a very dangerous animal, so parents must instruct their very literal-minded small children that real wild animals are dangerous, and that stories like this are funny pretend stories -- can you say "metaphor" sweetie? You can imagine a friendly moose, but never go up to a real one. There are thousands of kids' stories with personified animals, so this is not a new thought to most adults, but sometimes it's hard for us to remember that *everything* is new to small children. Our daughters enjoy all three, though I haven't seen Mouse/Cookie surface for a while, so I'll have to dig it out and read it to the 20-month-old. She loves Pig/Pancake and this one. Our older daughter (4.5) treasured all three beginning at her sister's age, and now uses them to really look at and read the words that she already knew by heart. These are great books. Enjoy with them!

Summary: On the floor in giggles
Review: My daughter & I found this book in our church nursery. By the middle of the book we were both on the floor in giggles! We read it three times at church and when we got home I had to tell the story to her about five more times. It's just a wonderful & delightful book to read! I had to add it to our collection.

Summary: Good for the little ones too!
Review: My son is now 19 months and has loved this book for three months now. He races to bed to read "Oose! Oose!!". Since he can barely talk saying the word "Moose" is quite an accomplishment. He loves this book very much, and insists on reading this one before Goodnight Moon every night. By the way, I have several others in the series (pig, mouse) and he could care less about those. He gets mad when I bring them over instead of his "OOSE!" A definate keeper.
